Bad Moon Rising is een in 1969 door John Fogerty geschreven nummer. Het was de eerste single van het album Green River. In april van dat jaar werd het nummer op single uitgebracht.

"Bad Moon Rising" is a song written by John Fogerty and performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was the lead single from their album Green River and was released on April 16, 1969 four months before the album. The song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 28 June 1969 and reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in September of that year (see 1969 in music). It was CCR's second gold single.

The song has been recorded by at least 20 different artists, in styles ranging from folk to reggae to psychedelic rock.

In 2010, Rolling Stone ranked it No. 364 on its "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list.

It is one of five songs by the band that peaked at the No. 2 spot on the U.S. Billboard chart and did not get to No. 1. It was blocked by "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet" by Henry Mancini.

On the 2013 John Fogerty album, Wrote a Song for Everyone, the song is included featuring the Zac Brown Band.

The song is played on the radio in the video game Mafia III, although its usage is anachronistic since the game takes place in 1968.
